Stuff like gocryptfs seem to push FUSE to quite high performance. There is still some latency but streaming read/write seem to go fast.

Do you have any documentation on that?

The benchmarks on their website[1] compare it running on a 4 x 3.20GHz with hardware AES-N instructions, against an in-kernel implementation of a different cryptosystem running on a 2.7GHz cpu that does NOT have AES instructions. I also can't see anything that speaks to speed of the storage (or if this is controlled for), so I'm admittedly quite skeptical.

The numbers they do publish aren't particularly impressive to me either, so we may also have wildly different ideas about what "quite high performance" even means.
